A low-speed refrigerated centrifuge is a laboratory instrument used to separate substances of different densities within a solution. It operates by spinning samples at high speeds, causing heavier particles to settle at the bottom of the centrifuge tube while lighter particles remain suspended or float towards the top. The refrigeration feature helps maintain a controlled temperature during the centrifugation process, which is particularly important for delicate samples that may be sensitive to temperature changes.
